In the simplest terms, physicists define energy as the ability to do work. But this sparse, even humdrum definition does scant justice to the profound meaning of energy to our very existence. It falls short in the same way the definition of sound (a type of energy) as simply "vibratory...
We show here that population growth, resolved at the county level, is spatially heterogeneous both among and within the U.S. metropolitan statistical areas. Our analysis of data for over 3,100 U.S. counties reveals that annual population flows, resulting

5 nations are India, Indonesia, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Japan. The growth in the region started in the 1950s after the Second World War. All other countries are represented by only one country such as the USA (North America), Brazil (South America), Russia (Europe), and Nigeria (Africa...
Among crop fruit trees, the apricot (Prunus armeniaca) provides an excellent model to study divergence and adaptation processes. Here, we obtain nearly 600 Armeniaca apricot genomes and four high-quality assemblies anchored on genetic maps. Chinese and E
The greatest growth was in the southern suburb of Tlajomulco which grew 237% from 123,619 to 416,552. Interestingly, the population of the central city of Guadalajara decreased by 152,185 to 1,494,134. In this post, we look at the pattern of population change for the other municipalities...
The results identify statistically significant pockets of growth, stability, and decline within counties across metropolitan and non-metropolitan localities. This approach and these results pave the way for a more contextual understanding of population redistribution in the U.S....
